WithIron-fist Zhu’s help, Feng Yu got a Hong Kong pa.s.sport in the morning 3 dayslater. His China Pa.s.sport was still valid.
AfterFeng Yu got his pa.s.sport, he contacted the US side and then fly to New Yorkwith some of his Hong Kong staffs.
Therewere a lot of opportunities in the US during this era. This was also the timewhen the US tech industry developed. Telecommunications, PC, technology,software, etc. will replace the US traditional manufacturers as the primaryindustry.
Telecommunicationsdoes not need any further explanations. Pagers will be slowly replaced bymobile phones. After 1999, SMS technology was introduced, and it could managemore than 500 SMS every second. This was the technology that killed pagers.
Thisdecision puzzled many people at Aiwa Electronics. They felt pagers should stillbe in the market for at least the next 10 years. They should increase theirproductions to meet the demand. Why are they withdrawing from the pager marketso early?
No onewould expect the SMS technology would develop so fast. In the future, it couldprocess 16,000 messages in a second, and SMS was the most popular feature usedby mobile phone users. This was because SMS cost the lowest. It was about thesame as pagers.
For thePC industry, Feng Yu will leave it to Lenovo. Lenovo was good at controllingtheir manufacturing cost. China taxes on imported electronic products were high,and Lenovo will be starting a price war this year. They wanted to take over thewhole China market.
Thisoperating system was the main reason the PC became popular. It was simple,convenient, fast, user-friendly. Users only need to click on the mouse, andthey could operate it. Even seniors and children can operate it. Microsoft willalso introduce Internet Explorer. This dramatically increases the developmentof the internet.
Lenovohad signed contracts with many companies to supply parts for their hardwareproducts. They will also be producing the core components in China. This yearwill be China’s PC peak!
Lenovo inthis life was different from Feng Yu’s previous life. In his previous life,Lenovo had to get listed in Hong Kong to raise funds for its development. Inthis life, Feng Yu had invested in Lenovo directly and stopped them fromgetting listed.
In FengYu’s previous life, Lenovo was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and gotdelisted after a few years. Feng Yu does not want this to happen again. Gettingdelisted will affect the confidence of the investors.
As forsoftware, Lenovo is also working hard to develop their software products. FengYu made some suggestions to Liu Chuanzhi. The number one Chinese softwaredeveloper company, Kingsoft, in Feng Yu’s previous life, was alreadyestablished. There were lots of talents in this company.
LiuChuanzhi also likes those developers at Kingsoft. They were quite famous in thesoftware developers’ circles. But they are not the best developers in Chinanow.
Risingwas a good company, but if they merged with Lenovo, Lenovo’s shareholdingstructure would collapse. Rising’s backing was too powerful. They were sopowerful that they might takeover Lenovo.
In thecurrent era, no companies in the world could catch up with Microsoft when itcomes to the operating system. Feng Yu also did not expect his companies todevelop an operating system which was better than Win95 now.
If there was only an English version ofWin95, then it will be difficult for it to be introduced in China. Feng Yuremembered that it was Kinston that developed the Chinese language pack forWindows operating system in his previous life.
Feng Yu intends to replicate US current successfuldevelopment in China. He wants to let China companies takeover and acquire UScompanies.
